Cool Dude

Every year, the local after school program sponsors a play by the Missoula Children's Theater.  This program brings two directors to town to put on a full play with all the costumes, props and backdrops provided.  The kids try out on Monday after school and then practice every day after school and perform two shows on Friday.  It's an intense process, but a great opportunity for the kids.

Morgan decided to try out this year and was pleased with the part he was given.  The play this year was Pinocchio.  Morgan was one of four boys who were "Candlewick's Crew."

It was a small part, but he did great and had fun.  He played one of the "bad" kids who encouraged Pinocchio to give up his responsibilities and go to "Pleasure Isle."

The poor kid who he stood back-to-back with was quite a bit shorter than Morgan.  At one point during the play, that kid (who's at least a year older) was standing on his tip toes in an effort to not feel quite so short!

That's one cool (tall) dude.
